Poll: Did the WTC base jumpers violate the sanctity of the site?

On Monday, a YouTube video emerged of a man base-jumping from the World Trade Center, which quickly went viral. The four men involved turned themselves in the same day, and the Port Authority and NYPD condemn this “lawless and selfish” act. They have been charged with felony burglary, misdemeanor reckless endangerment and misdemeanor jump from a structure.

But the outrage isn’t just among law enforcers, many people have expressed feelings of disapproval because of the daredevils blatant disrespect for the site. Ground zero, to many, is hallowed ground that symbolizes the American spirit, keepin’ on keepin’ on, if you will.

While others are completely dismissing this symbolism. A building is a building after all, and wasn’t the sanctity of the of site destroyed when vendors started selling 9/11 related souvenirs?
